MS Office 2003 (Win95 and IE 5.5)

In one of Woody's newsletters he discussed the issue of MS Office 2003 this summer. In that review he discussed the pros and cons / possible alternatives to buying a new PC at this time or waiting until the release, and other possibilities. I thought I kept that newsletter but can't find it. Is there some place where you can find old newsletters? Or can somebody give me some advice on whether it is a bad idea to buy a new computer with this software around the corner? I recognize it always isn't the best to be the first but.....
Thanks.
